338: Chapter 338 A Megaton Nuclear Bomb!

"I'll go take a look."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and, without waking Jiu Jiu, got up and left the bedroom alone.

After several consecutive teleports, Chen Fan arrived at the laboratory.

Ruituocuipu and a group of Goblins were gathered around a cylindrical nuclear bomb, examining it.

Seeing Chen Fan's arrival, Ruituocuipu smiled and said:

"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Chen Fan looked at the nuclear bomb before him and also smiled:

"The good news."

"The good news is that the million-ton yield nuclear bomb is finished. This is it."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, carefully observing the nuclear bomb in front of him.

It was roughly over three meters long, less than a meter in diameter, cylindrical in shape, and had fin-like structures at the tail.

It looked unremarkable; if Ruituocuipu hadn't said so, Chen Fan would never have guessed this was a million-ton yield nuclear bomb.

"And the bad news?"

Ruituocuipu scratched his head. "The bad news is that due to manufacturing limitations, this nuclear bomb cannot be equipped on a delivery vehicle."

Chen Fan nodded. "In other words, this nuclear bomb cannot be launched from a silo?"

"Yes, it can only be transported by aircraft." Ruituocuipu smacked his lips with regret.

Chen Fan smiled and waved it off. "It doesn't matter. As long as it's built, we'll find a way to deploy it eventually."

"Mhm. There's still a million units of earth resources left. Should I build another one?"

"Build it. Once you've finished the next one, it will be time for us to set out."

Chen Fan clenched his fist, his gaze sweeping toward the sky out of the corner of his eye.

Ruituocuipu nodded. Just as he was about to pack up the nuclear bomb, his eyes flickered, and he smiled:

"This is a limited edition; we can only build two for now. Do you want to give it a name?"

"That works."

Chen Fan rubbed his chin and looked at the million-ton nuclear bomb, which seemed completely out of proportion to the materials consumed, and smiled:

"It's so small, like a kid. Why don't we just call it 'Little Boy'?"

"Little Boy? That's a good name."

Ruituocuipu nodded, picked up a brush, and wrote two clear words on the nuclear bomb's casing: Little Boy.

Immediately after, he directed the Goblins to pack the bomb and began manufacturing the next million-ton yield nuclear bomb.

Chen Fan watched for a while, and feeling there was nothing left for him to do, he teleported away.

Returning to the bedroom, he held Jiu Jiu in his arms and fell back asleep.

"Soon. We'll be able to go home soon."

Chen Fan closed his eyes and whispered softly.

Beside him, Jiu Jiu seemed to sense something; she shifted her body and snuggled into Chen Fan's embrace.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep.

...

While Chen Fan was waiting for the nuclear missile...

Inside the Daytime Instance.

Having finished their day's work, the Players had long since fallen into a deep sleep.

Only a few Players lay on the deck, flipping through the world channel while standing guard.

Suddenly.

The sound of waves crashing echoed.

The Players frowned, their gazes scanning the front.

With just one look, they were stunned.

In the waters outside the island, dense black whirlpools had appeared.

Unlike before, these whirlpools weren't just appearing on the sea surface.

They were densely packed across the sky as well.

After a moment of shock, the Players opened the regional channel and roared hoarsely:

"Wake up! Monster invasion!"

Immediately, cries of alarm broke out one after another.

In the Huaxia City region.

Luo Li woke up the instant the sentry Players cried out.

Without any hesitation, she first woke her sisters and then immediately stood on the aircraft carrier's deck to begin commanding.

Every plane in Huaxia City took off.

Soon, reports on the surrounding situation were sent back.

The Players suddenly gasped in cold air.

This monster invasion was not like the previous ones with few varieties.

This time, there were not only those coming over the waves but also those flying in the air.

Even more terrifying was that the number of whirlpools this time far exceeded the previous ones.

Luo Li pondered for a moment and then drafted a battle plan.

"All Crew Members, guard the land. warships, form a perimeter around Huaxia City; do not let any monsters near the main city!"

"Yes! Big Sister Head!"

With clear commands, the Players breathed a sigh of relief and began defending the city in an orderly fashion.

At this time, the Huaxia City island was completely different from when Chen Fan had left.

The original inner sea area was only a small patch and was some distance from Huaxia City.

But now, after Luo Li's modifications, Huaxia City had become a small isolated island.

The entire outer ring of the island served as the docking area for the Players' warships.

This way, even when the Players were resting, they could rely on the automatic counterattack equipment on the warships to resist foreign invasions.

"Fenghuo Changcheng, the critical moment is here. You must time your skills well."

Luo Li sent the message with a heavy expression.

This monster invasion was extremely bizarre; not only were the numbers vast, but even the system had failed to issue a prompt.

This gave her a very bad feeling.

Subconsciously, she clicked on Chen Fan's and Jiu Jiu's profile frames.

Seeing that their avatars were still gray, she took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

On the other side, in the direction of District 985.

Qiu Shui was also commanding the Players in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, she frowned.

Within the perception of her Invincible Domain, she sensed something slightly wrong.

When she extended her attention into the earth and gradually expanded outward, she suddenly cried out in surprise.

"What kind of creatures are these?!"

In her perception, many creatures that looked like humans yet not humans, and fish yet not fish, were actually digging through the earth from beneath the sea surface.

At this moment, many Fishmen had already dug a very deep tunnel.

Behind them, a dense mass of creatures was following this tunnel deep into the island.

"Hmph! Die!"

Qiu Shui let out an angry snort.

Abruptly, all the creatures within the tunnel were instantly annihilated.

"Phew..."

"Fortunately, these creatures don't have high HP, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill them."

In her development of the skill, the Invincible Domain could release one attack on every unit that invaded the domain.

If that single attack wasn't enough to kill the monster, she couldn't release a second one.

Qiu Shui scanned the area, and after finding that no issues had arisen among the Players, she focused on dealing with these infiltrating monsters.

After killing another batch, she looked at the gray avatars in her friends list and narrowed her eyes.

"What a scumbag, taking a girl out to play while I have to protect your harem."

"Pah!"

Qiu Shui spat a few times, but in the end, she couldn't bear to see a tragedy occur and clicked on the guardian channel.

The channel was still incredibly quiet; it was very rare for a regional leader to come out and chat.

After pondering for a moment, she sent a message.

"There are Fishmen in the sea that can dig holes. They are leading many monsters to invade from beneath the land. Everyone, be careful."

After sending it, her gaze would glance at the guardian channel from time to time.

Soon, many regional leaders began to express their thanks.

"Thanks, comrade. I'll go check it out."

"Holy crap, there really are! @District 985, thanks big shot, otherwise we would have been in for a tragedy."

"Everyone, hurry and use the skills of your regional Players. Many skills can deal with this situation."

"Understood, thank you everyone."

After watching for a long time without seeing a reply from District 10010, Qiu Shui couldn't help but frown.

"Are they not looking?"

Just as she was gritting her teeth and preparing to @ them, Luo Shen finally replied.

"@District 985, thank you, little sister."
